Where furloughed directors need to carry out particular duties to fulfil their statutory obligations, they may do so provided it is no more than would reasonably be judged necessary for that purpose. In particular, they should not do work of a kind they would carry out in normal circumstances to generate commercial revenue or provide services to or on behalf of their company, as this is not in line with the scheme's objectives, which are to support businesses to cover employment costs, not lost revenue. This also applies to companies with a sole director. However, in order to support people to work where they can, and where it is permitted within the restrictions, the flexible element of the CJRS remains available. Businesses can use the scheme for employees for any amount of time and shift pattern.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>For clarity, dividends are not covered by the CJRS. Income from dividends is a return on investment in the company, rather than wages. Under current reporting mechanisms it is not possible for HM Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC) to distinguish between dividends derived from an individual\u2019s own company and dividends from other sources, and between dividends in lieu of employment income and as returns from other corporate activity.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>HMRC's official statistics do not determine the job role of furloughed employments.

The fourth SEISS grant, available to claim from late April, will be worth 80% of average trading profits, paid out in a single instalment covering three months\u2019 worth of annual profits, and capped at £7,500 in total. Further details of the fifth SEISS grant will be published in due course.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Grants\u202fare\u202fnow\u202fbased on 2019-20 \u202ftax\u202freturns\u202fwhich is\u202fthe most up to date\u202finformation HMRC holds\u202ffor self-employed individuals.\u202fThis\u202fmeans that\u202fthe Government is\u202fnow in a position\u202fto provide\u202fsupport\u202fto hundreds of thousands of newly eligible self-employed individuals.<\/p><p>Using these returns\u202frequires time to\u202fdeliver, due to the increased population and new data. Guidance\u202fon how\u202fto claim the fourth grant\u202fwill be\u202favailable in\u202fdue course.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The SEISS\u202fand the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) are very\u202fdifferent schemes. The CJRS pays for hours which are not worked, while SEISS\u202fclaimants can work while claiming. Furthermore, as the Chancellor announced, employers will be required to contribute\u202fto CJRS payments as the economy reopens.\u202f The SEISS is not intended to provide a month-by-month replacement of income. Due to the volatility of self-employed income and the lack of granular data that HMRC hold on self-employed trading profits, precise mapping of income replacement month by month is not possible. Instead, the SEISS provides a lump sum payment to support eligible self-employed individuals whose businesses have been affected by coronavirus.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The SEISS is just one part of a wider package of support for the self-employed. The temporary £20 per week increase to the Universal Credit standard allowance has been extended for six months, and the suspension of the Minimum Income Floor for three months, to the end of July 2021, so that where self-employed claimants' earnings have fallen significantly, their Universal Credit award will have increased to reflect their lower earnings. In addition, they may also have access to other elements of the package, including Restart Grants, the Recovery Loan scheme, business rates relief, and other business support schemes.<\/p>"}
